So just before we started the Looking Skyward Tour, a good friend of ours Guido Braun pitched an idea of a “Old School” tour program to use to sell at the shows. After seeing his initial pictures and layout from the previous shows he attended, we granted him access to any of the shows he wanted just to collect as much material as possible to catalogue the tour with candid images.
A few months later he presented us with a book. We were absolutely blown away with the quality. This lead to the additional idea of making this a full colour book documenting our career as a band. So much digging in our archives for Pictures, Setlists, Flyers, Info sheets, posters and Lyrics etc.. “Looking Backward” was born.
The book now contains loads of unseen pictures right from the early beginnings to the present day. Pictures from our own private collections, A huge section of live pictures from a fans view point, Discography, Studio pictures and equipment list etc….
Who would have ever thought we would be releasing a book 🙂

Yesterday, we kicked off Part II of Touring Skyward in Manchester. And have to tell, Manchester you raised the roof! Amazing! At our Facebook page you’ll find some Facebook live videos.

Now we are on our way to Germany for 10 days of touring. Starting tonight in Cologne. It will be the first day of ‘shooting’ for our upcoming new live DVD/Blu-Ray. Later this tour, the show in Hamburg will be recorded also. In all venues we are planning to film backstage footage.

Today is also release day of our 2nd Looking Skyward single “Runway”. It entered the German Alternative charts at number 5! Order your copy at Popnaut or at Dependent. Of course you can also buy it at one of the upcoming shows.

And there is more to get at the merch booth. Besides 3 new shirts, we will also have our photobook available. The mesh photobook, titled ‘Looking Backward’ contains pictures of over 20 years of mesh. 250 copies were printed for this tour. After the tour we will evaluate if we need to ‘run another batch’ for sales on the mesh store. Speaking of which… we are working on a new mesh store. So maybe we should be thinking about out a closeout…

For quite some time now, fans have been begging for a new MESH live DVD. And we have some great news for them. We are planning to release a live DVD/Blu-Ray in 2018.
And the filming starts now. The idea is to film different shows at different locations. This tour the camera crew will follow us in Cologne and one more possible show in Germany. Venue- and backstage scenes will be taken on the entire tour. So make sure you look at your best when caught on tape…

After a succesfull part I, EMPATHY TEST will join the fun also this time. They will get on the tour bus in Cologne for the rest of the tour. Not only will MESH release the new single “Runway” on April 21st, also EMPATHY TEST will release their new single “Bare my soul” the same day.

Newcomer ADAM IS A GIRL will join us during the first 6 shows in Germany and Austria. This electropop duo impressed us with their show at the “Synth-pop goes Berlin” festival last February.

The last 3 shows on German soil will be supported by LOEWENHERTZ. This duo will make you dance with their electropop tracks in German and English.

Needless to say we are very excited to start this second part of our tour. Part I was amazing. We can only hope part II will be half as good.

With “Looking Skyward,” we have released our most successful album to date. “Runway” is going to be released as the second single from that album on 21 April 2017. As so many requested, the cover version of Yazoo’s classic “Tuesday” will be added as a B-side
With “Too Little Too Late” you’ll get another B-side on top of that!
